World Poetry Day

In addition to being the first day of spring, did you know this is World Poetry Day? Today I attended the centenary celebration of Representative Poetry, a poetry anthology created by UofT English professors and used as a textbook for many years, through multiple editions. Then in the 199os it evolved into an extensive online poetry collection, whose General Editor, Prof. Ian Lancashire, has worked for years in collaboration with UofT Libraries to create and maintain this free website. The latest edition of Representative Poetry Online has just been launched!
